Buy a krugerrand and bury it in your garden. Then when you are playing with the kids one day, have a wee treasure hunt and find the gold hidden in the back garden, they will get a masssive kick out of it, you get a nice shiny lump of gold to ooh and ahh over and something that not people have or bother to get.

My Dad did this when we were kids, I still remember the sense of disbelief when we actually discovered treasure in our back garden, my father gave me the krugerand on my 21st birthday as a little heirloom.

Only downside is that it requires time.

FFS - just stick it in the bank.

I was a little wary about opening a link featuring "vibe" and "five fingers" there for a moment. Then I realized it was about footwear.
